Pfft! Amateurs!
There's a road here in town with another road connecting it at a "T". Where they meet, there is a huuuge hump! There is a long downhill leading to it. You can jump it from that direction but, the other direction has a twist to it and will flip you.
Back around 1987, a buddy and I decided to jump it. I had a 1978 International by God Harvester Scout II! We tried it at 30mph and it wouldn't lift the heavy bastard at all. So, we kept upping the speed until it did lift. I don't remember what speed it took to get it off the ground but, I will never forget the LAST run!
We hit the hump at 95mph! I don't know how high we were but, we were in the air long enough to give the engine a few good redneck revs before we landed. The truck landed like it had nothing better to do! Awesome! Now, we come to the next problem. There is a 90 degree turn in about a tenth of a mile from the hump! Somehow, I got us stopped slightly askew against the curb of the turn. We decided we couldn't do it any faster and make the turn so, that was the last of the day.
I also used to jump a 1968 Ford Fairlane but, nowhere near as fast or far. Probably only 3-4 feet high and 30-40 feet long.
Come to think of it, I've jumped a lot of vehicles! Heck! I even jumped my KLR650 and lived to tell about it! It's all about the air-time baby!

As for the Raptor. I love them! I want one! No way in hell would I treat one like that! That was just plain stupid!
